Dressing up is an art and for many people, finding a clothing style that is suitable for the figure that they carry is of the highest priority. Women come in all variety of shapes and sizes. Thier are 4 types of common body shape include apple body shape, pear body shape, hourglass body shape and rectangle body shape. These types of body shapes require specific fashion tips that are going to be flattering for each figure. For a woman who falls into the category of apple body shape, she needs to wear clothing that are going to take away the emphasis on her waist and reduce the appearance of her broad shoulders. She can also draw the attention to her legs by wearing tunic style short skirts. Camouflage the extra pounds around the tummy by wearing raised waist dresses . To create an illusion of smaller waist, she can put on wrap tops, nipped waist jackets or cinched waists.
A woman who carries a pear or triangle shape figure on the other hand can pull the focus to her top half. To create a more balanced top and lower body, choose wider necklines type of clothing paired with darker bottoms. An illusion of leaner looking legs can be achieved by wearing boot cut jeans. An A-line or asymmetric skirt is suitable as it skims around the hip rather than focusing the whole attention on themand a jacket that falls just above the hip is preferable to longer ones.
For hourglass body shapes, ladies can choose a clothing type that will draw the focus to their narrow waist and show off their classic curves. To let the curves be the central focus, wear waist-defining clothing like cinched waists or wrap dresses with high-waisted pants or skirts. To create a leaner and longer appearance, choose monochromatic colored v-necks that will draw the eye vertically.
Rectangular/ straight body shape types have slender bodies. To add more curves choose jackets with defined waists, scoop neck or v-neck. Wear low rise straight or flared jeans that fade at the thigh area to create an added curve at the hips and legs. To add dimension to the whole figure, try on layered looks. Wear clothing that has prints,and tailored design to break up the straight appearance.
Shakzzzz! i belong to the apple body shape!it so really a prob. to have a broad shoulder...Hush Hush!!

clothing in victorians time
Clothing in the Victorian times
Methods of clothing production and distribution varied greatly over the course of Victoria's long reign.
In 1837, cloth was manufactured in the mill towns of northern England, Scotland, and Ireland. But clothing was generally custom-made by seamstresses, milliners, tailors, hatters, glovers, corsetiers, and many other specialized tradespeople, who served a local clientele in small shops. Families who could not afford to patronize specialists, made their own clothing, or bought and modified used clothing.
By 1907, clothing was increasingly factory-made and sold in large, fixed price department stores. Custom sewing and home sewing were still significant, but on the decline.
New machinery and materials changed clothing in many ways.
The introduction of the lock-stitch sewing machine in mid-century simplified both home and boutique dressmaking, and enabled a fashion for lavish application of trimthat would have been prohibitively time-consuming if done by hand. Lace machinery made lace at a fraction of the cost of the old, laborious methods.

which eyeliner should yuo choose?
Eye liner is the most used eye make up and even those women who do not use any other eye makeup do not mind using some eyeliner to accentuate the beauty of their eyes.
Eyes are the most delicate part of our face, and so you must proceed with outmost care when applying the eyeliner and you also need to be particular about using only branded good quality eyeliners. Here’s a little help on the different types of eyeliners along with guidelines on how to use them.
1.pencil eyeliner: the most popular ones, and they look just like a regular writing pencil. It is best to sharpen the pencil eyeliner every time b4 using it, but be careful not to make the tip too sharp or it may hurt your delicate eyelids. Be extra careful when applying pencil eyeliner onto the lower eyelash, & try not to exert too much force on your eyelid.
2.Liquid eyeliner: This one is not as easy to apply as the pencil eyeliner, but definitely it is much safer to use. It comes in a small bottle with the application brush already there. The application brush makes it easier for you to make precise and accurate lines.
3.Cake eyeliners:These are usually available in a palette,these too need to be applied with a brush. These are fairly easy to apply, since they are in a solid form they don’t smudge so easily. With cake eyeliners you have a wider choice in terms of color as compared to the two types.
Choose an eye liner that’s easy for you to use, and most importantly an eye liner with which you can make precise and smooth lines without messing up.

why hairy men seem mre attractive?
In one of the recent studies conducted on sexual behavior and relationships, it come out that women prefer hairy hunks to the effeminate metro-sexual men, coz they feel a kind of safety and security factor attached to these rough-n-tough men.
Men broad muscular bodies and the hairy chests talk about the hard work and the manly things that they do. And that seems like an immediate turn on for most women, no wonder women get wild vibes looking at sweating mechanics and plumbers in their greasy uniforms, who live outside the overly sophisticated society.
Beast like unkempt bodies and a carefree man’s attitude is what has gone missing since the hairless slender guys took over in the show biz. But since, most women find these cultured and suave looking men somewhat repulsive, the trend is getting back to the brawny and the muscular. So, we’re hoping to see real man once again!
